116.0. "Great college sports rivalries" by SAGE::ROSS (Totally Hidden Noteo) Wed Jan 17 1990 09:39

What are the greatest rivalries in college sports?   

For football :

        Oklahoma vs Nebraska
	USC      vs UCLA
        Ohio St  vs Michigan
	Alabama  vs Auburn

For basketball:

	Indiana    vs Purdue
	NC         vs NC State  vs Duke
	Notre Dame vs UCLA
		

Others?	

I think the greatest combined rivalry in college sports {football 
and basketball} has to be Purdue vs Indiana, but I'm biased.

116.23The rivalry of the 90'sLUDWIG::CLAYBROOKThu Jan 18 1990 00:396
    The fiercest rivalry in football is definately Alabama and Auburn
    Also, as long as they keep playing, the rivalry of the 90's
    will be Florida St. and Miami, for the last few years, who ever
    loses this game, it ends up thats the only loss they have.

re JD:

	Gotta love it.  Can't forget the intense rivalry between
	Central Connecticut State University and
	Southern Connecticut State Unversity.  Makes the Hadfields
	and McCoys look like girly-mon stuff....


re Rivalries:

	I agree about Alabama/Auburn.  To the people down there it's
	as important as the Civil War was between the Union and
	the Confederacy....really.

	Also, Army-Navy has such far reaching consequences.  My
	Dad's been out of the Navy for *years* and seldom watches
	college football.  The one game that he is intent on following
	is (you guessed it) Army-Navy....

      Texas and oU have and allways will be a rivals. Of course half the
    guys playing for oU come from Texas. Texas and A+M also have a great
    hate for each other, but nothing compared to oU.

    The OU vs. Texas rivalry has to be one of the best over the years.
    With Texas down some the past few years and then OU getting on
    probation it's kind of been forgotten nationally.  This is a much
    bigger rivalry than OU vs. Nebraska.

    How about those two southern schools that had the riot last night? I
    didn't catch who they were but quite frankly I found it funnier than
    Hell. Maybe Bobby Knight should go down there and learn how to REALLY
    handle a chair.

    Over all I'd say Michigan-Ohio St. and N.D.- U.S.C. in football,
    lately its without a doubt Miami-Florida St...the last 3 years 
    has been awesome.........FSU is the only team in the last 3 years
    to really beat the Canes,by this I mean beat them on the field
    and push them around to do it,these 2 colleges continue to field
    super football teams and they'll continue to do so,at least at
    FSU where they gave Bowden a big contract to stay put.
    
    N.D. is my team and they had better sign Lou to a long term pact
    to compete with the afore mentioned powerhouses.

    I'll second that!  In any sport, Ohio vs Miami of Ohio is billed as the
    partiers vs the prepies, respectively.  At Ohio, we had this little
    drum roll cheer and then when it stopped playing the crowd was to
    shout, "Go Ohio!"  Never once did I hear that.  Instead, everyone
    shouted "F__k Miami!"  NO MATTER WHO WE WERE PLAYING!
    
    One year, the OU administration got wise to the student body and
    ordered the band not to play the drum roll at the basketball game
    against Miami.  The band members leaked word of the restraint and there
    was not a drum left to sell in any of the toy or department stores in
    Athens, Ohio.  The Convocation Center was sold out that night and 2,000
    students had drums and were playing the drum roll more often than the
    band ever did.
    
    Such classic memories.
